A Trip To The Santa gested that as I lived so near to A couple of weeks later, after dinner on a Saturday, while playâ€" ing bridge, my daughter asked, "If it is a nice day toâ€"morrow how would you folks like to drive up to the Mission at Santa Barbara and call on Nanna‘s counsin?" (I‘m Nanna to the family and all their friends, because two Alma‘s make confusion). All agreed it was a wonderful idea. d It is almost 100 miles to Santa Barbara. The next morning Alma and I called for Barbara and her husband Jerry. Had dinner at Eaton‘s famous restaurant in Santa Barbara and arrived at the Mission at 1 P.M. The door was wide open and we walked in. There was a bell we should have tapped, which would didn‘t bother with the bell, beâ€" Monk at this wonderful Mission run by the Franciscan Fathers. This grandson would be a priest in a year and a balf. All I would have to do was to introduce myâ€" self by my maiden name and this young Monk would know where to place me in this large family on my father‘s side. I wrote to the young man, setâ€" ting a dateâ€"but the very next day I had to telegraph canceling the date, because of sudden severe illness in our family.

He was in the garb worn by the Francisean Fathers, We really were lucky. When this Monk came to us from the other room Alma told him whom we would like to see. He looked us over and asked if we were relaâ€" tives, Alma told him we were, and then he wanted to know if we came from Oakland. He was told we came from Hollywood. Then he said he knew the young man very and told us to make ourselves comâ€" fortable, and he would find the young man and send him to us. It took about 15 minutes before my Monk appeared. The reason being he was playing baseball. Up to the beginning of World War II, the young priests all played games in their brown habits. But when they were told of a possible shortage of material, it was deemâ€" ed best for the players to don suits appropriate to the game. So it was the change into his habit that caused the delay. which is a brown habit with a he also eyed us. (I‘ll explain later why we were unusually interesting guests).

We chatted about the family for a little while and he ael, but we were to call him Mike. He has a perfectly shaped head, brown hair, blue eyes, is six feet tall, straight as an arrow, and has a marvelous sense of humor, and occasionally uses slang. Of ‘course we wanted to see all the public were allowed to see, but we were privileged guests. Among the many interesting things we were shown was a docâ€" ument which came from Rome and was written in Latin. Barbara began to read it aloud. Mike sure was taken by surprise. How under the sun could she read Latin like that? "I teach Latin in High School," Barbara answered. Mike‘s eyes opened just as wide as they possibly could go. There are no women at the Mission. The cooking, cleaning, etc., is done by men who have Quite suddenly Mike asked if we would mind if he smoked? He was immediately joined by three more smokers.

We were with Mike almost four hours and not a moment was wasted.

This Father Urban never lost track of the family, and he and Mike had tried to figâ€" ure out the relationship between Mike and me. In fact it had been discussed between the young priests, and that was why we were unusual guests. The relationship goes back to this: Mike‘s grandfather‘s father and my father were brothers.
